Happy New Year!











"Be particularly respectful to whoever is in charge, whenever he consults you and you have to contradict his opinions. And never contradict him in the presence of those who are subject to him, even if he is in the wrong."

– St. Josemaria Escriva, The Way, #954

Really St. Escriva?

i hope & pray u all had a fantastic holy Immaculate Conception 2011...it's a rare delight 2 celebrate Mary with another holy person...yesterday a package came in the mail from my friend and contemporary Kyle from Popple Fame...
when u have a mail sticker like that, what is in the package must be super cool and hip...which led me 2 think of St. Anne as the sticker, and the Virgin Mary as the Alesis MultiMix 12 Firewire mixer...u c what i'm talking about??? Popple r SOOOOO deep...now go 2 their site and buy a "And With Your Spirit" T-shirt!

Saint of the Day
St. Cecilia (2nd century)

Cecilia was a virgin who was given in marriage against her wishes. She told her husband that she was accompanied by an angel, but in order to see it, he must be purified. After he was baptized, he found her in prayer accompanied by a praying angel. Her husband was killed in 117 for giving poper burials to Christians martyred by the Romans. Later, she too was killed when she refused to sacrifice to false gods.

in honor of St Cecilia i'd like 2 thank God 4 giving me so much work lately...both gigs and recording sessions...and 2 my wife and family 4 support...and 2 The Andrew Sisters for their harmonies...



Advent is upon us...pray!
